Sorry, been a mad day today. I have got half of next week's quiz done I still need a four-part answer for the Pyramid round, another six songs for the music tape, the pictures and various other questions. This week I have decided to drop the Scattergories round as it seems to becoming very unpopular, I haven't got anything to replace it with though I am very interested in John from VCJD's idea of a seperate "Blockbuster" round ( title needs some work) that will be seperate from the main quiz. Read below and see what you think, I value any input.

"Several quizzes we have attended have held different forms of ‘Blockbusters’ at half time. Really a quiz within the quiz and paid for separately. They all really worked on the same format. That is, you paid a separate sum of money to enter, usually a £1 and for that you had the opportunity to answer the question . These questions were usually along the lines of ; To the nearest 1000. How many sheep were there in Australia in 1926 or what was the milk yield in outer Mongolia in February of 1998. Essentially they were questions that no-one would possibly know the answer. If by chance someone did then they would win the pot. If not the nearest to the answer would win £5 and the money in the pot would be carried forward to the following week. After say 5 weeks when the pot had reached a tidy sum use a question that could be answered. Say the height of Everest. The principal of this is twofold. People like to win money in a lottery and secondly if you have invested money into something you will keep returning in order to have an opportunity of getting your money back."

Interesting. See what you think. The only problems I have initially with it are Who is going to collect and look after the money, Kate is too busy and I don't like handling the money part of the quiz, I've far to busy trying to present the quiz. Secondly, I have a problem that people may try and access the internet just to win the pot. Ideas? suggestions? quizard_97@yahoo.co.uk please. I hope to see a full house on Thursday and I'll leave you with the Questions and Answers and a joke.
